assignment. president obama is warning about across-the-board budget cuts soon to kick in. he warns people will lose their jobs and services will be slashed. >> we are now nine days away from those deep automatic cuts. bill plante is at the white house. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, gayle. top congressional leaders say it's the president's fault and they don't want these cuts to happen even though some of their members do. the president says he doesn't want the cuts to happen either. today he sits down with local tv reporters to as the white house official puts it to turn up the pressure for republicans to compromise. with just over a week until the cuts take effect the president's placing the blame for the sequester squarely at the doorstep of the republicans in congress. >> the last thing our families can afford right now is pain imposed unnecessarily by

by partisan recklessness. >> reporter: he'll hit the road to argue his case campaign stile regarding burgeoning budget cuts. he wants to close loopholes mostly against the wealthy to get more revenue. if it takes effect it will mean $1.2 trillion in automatic across-the-board spending cuts including $46 billion of the military budget for this year. if that happens, he says it's the president's fault, not theres. in response to mr. obama's plan house speaker boehner said the president offered no credible plan that can pass congress only more calls for higher taxes. >> many pundits say the sequester falls short, that we need $4 trillion in cuts. >> reporter: and as washington argues whose fault the cuts will be if they happen nearby local

governments home to federal workers and contractors warn that massive layoffs could cripple their economies. >> we don't need to wait to see the white in the eyes before we start responding because of the potential that we see. this challenge is real and real right now. >> reporter: well, with the deadline still nine days away, there's still a lot of posturing, and there's no sign that anyone's trying to make a deal. administration tells us that there are no secret talks or negotiations under way. the reason for that of course the obama administration thinks it's winning this debate and republican pressure will force republicans to give in. charlie, gayle? >> thanks. cbs political correspondent john dickerson. good morning, john. >> good morning, charlie. >> put this for us in terms of what we're talking about and what we're not talking about. >> it's a good point. step back here. what we're not talking about in this sequester is the actual

long-term drivers of this deficit problem so as people look at the fight, which is the 900th chap tur in the con stangt fights of the budget what's happening is the debate about dumb cuts to a portion of the budget, and everybody agrees they're dumb in terms of just being cut. the long-term -- those long-term costs are health care costs and so if washington can't agree on these fights they really can't agree on the harder fights about long-term health care costs that are part of entitlement. >> what are the short-term gains and long-term gains that either party can get it. >> clearly they show the upper hand. that's the short-term game. polls would suggest the president has the advantage there. but in the long-term picture economies tend to be talked about by the presidential terms and what the white house is worrying about is this economy which is struggling would really take a hit if the sequester took

a hit over the long period of time. that in the end through history's eyes, that makes the obama economy weaker and that's not great legacy item for this prb. >> so, john with nine days and counting and no talks scheduled on either side do you think it's inevitable it's going to happen? >> it's inevitable we'll get to march 1st. we talk about the budget fight as game of chicken. it's really a game of uncle, which is to say who's going to cave in first. >> who wins or loses in this with each party blaming the other? >> they both lose in terms of the country looking at them. the republicans seem to be losing more. they're trying to reorder the argument here and connect with people's fundamental feeling about the size of government especially with tax time coming people paying these big tax bills and wondering what they're

getting for it. that's the hopes. but so far they're showing the president with a little stronger hand here. >> john dickerson, thank you. police with search dogs searching for bodies this morning in the wreckage of a kansas city restaurant. >> dave hull of our kansas city affiliate kctv is at the scene. >> reporter: an explosion rocked the kansas city community after 6:00 p.m. on tuesday. the towering flame was over a block and injured several severely. many in the area had been complaining of a strong smell of gas. >> we finally called the gas company. they came out, checked inside our building said we needed to evacuate. it wasn't two minutes when we were grabbing our stuff and the explosion hit. it hits you like a shock waive. >> reporter: they claim it could have been triggered by a

construction company hits an underground gas pipe. kansas city's mayor is counting his blessings. >> i was there. on a tuesday night that place would often be packed so i was really praying that wasn't the casend and i don't believe it was. >> reporter: jay jay's had been cleared out but they were still combing through the smoking rubble. >> we have had cadaver dogs on the pile and they have not indicated that have made any hits whatsoever. but we continue to look and are concerned but we do have reports that we're looking for two people who may be missing. >> reporter: later this morning they're going to hold a press conference to tell us about the search and exactly what sparked this fire. in south africa this mornig dramatic new testimony regarding oscar pistorius. he's a double amputee runner

gasoline necessarily as rapid of a pace from the gulf coast because the ships are too expensive to move it. >> reporter: one thing people can do to pay less at the pump is to drive more fuel efficient vehicles. but so far hire gas prices do not seem to be playing into the gas prices. in february the two top vehicles were pickup trucks. >> they're expected to plead guilty to charges they spent more than $700,000 in campaign funds for personal use. jay le vane of our chicago cbs team is live. good morning. >> good morning. what's expect are negotiated plea agreements signed by both jesse and jackie.

in the case is've been in the judge says, look i'm sorry you're here, the investigator is sick and apparently they dropped the ball on these others we're going to reschedule it. after a while if they don't show up, the court will say, okay, i'm going to dismiss it. that's what's curious about this, it get dismissed when the investigating officer was ill. >> but it has to be hard for the families to see the police officers laughing in court. who was most responsible for the charges being dropped? >> well, right now it was a combination of things but the judge made the decision i will dismiss these charges. but as i said before it was this unusual set of circumstances. the getter doesn't show up because he was ill. >> the other question is why didn't one of the other

officers? >> well that's not necessarily a problem. it looks bad. people can bring supporters if they want to. another officer can't stand up and say i'll handle the case. it has to be an officer who ran the case sunshine involved. >> exactly. so, again, so much of this looks and feels awkward and uncomfortable. it can be explained. it is unusual to have these charges dismissed out of hand. >> now what happens? >> there is some possibilities. a lot of courts have administrators who can overstep and oversee things like this. they can say, this shouldn't have happened this way. they can ask to have it reset. if they still don't show up i could see it being dismissed. >> thank you, jack ford. the manhunt continues in new york for eight gunmen who pulled

off one of the biggest diamond heist in recent memory. that i stole some $50 million in jewels from a plane minutes from takeoff at an airport in brussels. good morning to you. >> good morning. it sounds big. $50 mill. but in diamond speerks it isn't. they represent about the most concentrated form of wealth tll is. if you're a thief intent on stealing a lot of value in a small package, it's hard to do this better than the diamond. >> $50 million in diamonds. >> the diamond world is buzzing over the heist but not shocked. massive values of diamonds are assessed and shipped every day through antwerp less than 50 miles from brussel's airport in the center of the diamond market which hand dls about $250

stolen don't get the value like real ones. still 20% of a big number sa big number which is why de-monday theft a real industry. >> i would say that compared to other heists in the past this was less oceans eleven because it wasn't as elegant as other crimes that have taken place in aunt western plains plus it had taken place at an airport. >> this thinking is the theevs will have a buyer or buyers lined up and who knows, maybe a hollywood agent. >> mark i saw both of those movies. what's the most fats nating thing for you? >> so much crime these days is cyber krierjs identity theft, skimming off the top from atms

it's 8:00 a.m. welcome back to "cbs this morning." automatic spending cuts are nine days away. republicans say bring them on. we'll ask former house speaker newt gingrich why he agrees with them. we'll show you the device that could save thousands of lives every year, but first here's a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> with the deadline still nine days away there's still a lot of posturing and there's no sign that anyone's trying to make a deal. >> president obama is warning americans about across-the-board budget cuts soon to kick in.

the president warns people will lose their jobs and services will be slashed. >> we've talked about these budget crises as game of chicken. it's actually game of until. >> a natural gas explosion last night. >> police and cadaver dogs search for possible bodies in kansas city. another day of dramatic evidence. oscar pistorius, and detectives describe how she had suffered three bullet wounds to her body. pistorius told them he thought there was a burglar but they say he didn't say much else at the time. >> gas prices have gone up nearly 46 cents during that current run-up. it's a supply problem. a search is on for eight gunmen who performed the biggest heist in recent memory. >> so much crime these days is cyber crime, identity theft, skimming off the top from atms and this type of thing. this one is like an old-time

heist. >> new reports show that chinese attackers could take out -- >> announcer: today's "eye opener" at 8:00 is presented by allergen. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king. norah o'donnell is on assignment. dramatic news this morning. >> pistorius is charged with shooting and killing his girlfriend on valentine's day. police admit they haven't found any incon sisz tencies in his story story. >> it's been another day of dramatic evidence in this case with the detective in charge of the investigation describing how he found the body of reeva steenkamp at the bottom of the stairs in oscar pistorius's house.

he said he fired four shots at an angle deliberately to kill hem and then the defense went in hard with the examination forcing the detective to concede there were no inconsistencies in oscar pistorius's version of the convenients. there was talk of the substance found at his house. the police say it was testosterone. defense say it was a herbal remedy. anna emma hurd for cbs news pretoria. police say one person is missing after a popular restaurant was destroyed at country club plaza. more than a dozens others were hurt. train dogs are serving for possible victims. witnesses reportedly say they smelled gas for hours before the blast. in nine days, $85 billion will be chopped from this year's federal bunt unless congress

makes a deal. so far that's not happening. bill plante is at the whouchls bill, good morning. >> charlie, good morning. as the deadline looms, the president is placing all the blame for sequester at the doorstep of republicans. they tell cbs news that the president is going to hit the road between now and the march 1st deadline to argue his case cam pine style. republicans continue to insist that if the across-the-board cuts happen, it will be the president's fault and not theirs, but even within the republican party there is disagreement of whether the sequester is a danger or maybe a silver lining. meanwhile there's no sign of a deal. administration officials say there are no secret talks under way and the white house thinks that it is winning this debate and that public pressure will force republicans to give in. charlie, gayle? >> bill thanks. former house speaker newt gingrich says if the white house is so bloated budget cuts might

actually be a good thing. he's out this morning with a obligate tering critique of top strategists in his own party. newt gingrich is with us now from chicago. good morning. >> good morning. good to be with you. >> you have said that billionaires and strategists should not be picking candidates and that they may have too much influence. who are you talking about, and what did you mean? >> well, look. in a news letter people are saying the idea that karl rove has some supe path to go out and basically pick republican senate nominees for example is a terrible idea. i don't want to become a party where a handful of political bosses gather up money from billionaires in order to destroy the candidates we don't like and that's what you're talking about. when you get involved in these primary fights it's all negative

advertising. i think this is a vir dangerous model. the fact is last year we lost nine u.s. senate races that we could have won. there's some very serious thinking we need to do across the states. >> are you also critical of the koch brothers and the money they spent in the election of 2010? >> if you're in a general election and both sides have access to a lot of resources, if you direct your resources against the other party, i'm very critical of the idea that you're going to see other people -- you see it here in chicago where mayor bloomberg of new york is trying to extend millions of dollar. we need a campaign reform that really does allow the candidates to raise the money directly so the candidates can spend the

money. i think it's very darjs to the long-term health of our society. >> i want gayle to get in here in a moment. you're also critical of the campaign run because they were not nearly as sophisticated in the techniques they used in understanding america and how to reach america. >> sure. look. i think this is problem of the republican core party. i think the senator has moved this in the right direction but a lot of consultants are kidding themselves about how big the gap is. the campaign is about eight years or ten years ahead of the republican party in very fundamental effort to understoodand the country. this is a country that's younger, more latino more asian america and african can deal with. and as a result they'll deal

with it. we're in great with governors. we're not doing well at the presidential level. >> what do you hope will come of the criticism? are you hoping they will engage you in conversation? >> i hope first of all the major donors will think lodge and hard before they turn lots of money over to consultants that we could have run and i hope second that the entire party will come to a conclusion that the republican party has to be capable of competing in all of america in reaching out to every part of the american society and then providing better solutions than the democrats provide. you can't just be an opposition party. you have toa party that has a better alternative. this is what i did in the '70s and '80s and '90s. i'm back to doing it again. it's a little unfortunate but it's a very important role to have. >> before you go you were with david axelrod who calls you "the

godfather" of gridlock. what do you say? >> i say we passed welfare reform, four consecutive balanced budgets. we got a lot done. >> speaker. >> we were very tough but we got a lot done. >> to be discussed at a further date. thanks so much for joining us in are chicago. >> thank you. good to be with you. joe biden had a mench. he was asked if tighter gun control could be harder for people to protect themselves. here's what the vice president did. >> if you want to protect yourself, get yourself a double-barreled shotgun and have the shells and i promise you i told my wife we live in an area that's wood and somewhat secluded. i said jill if there's ever a problem, walk out, put that double-barreled shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house.

i promise you whoever's coming in is not -- you don't need an ar-15. it's harder to aim. it's harder to use. and, in fact you doed need 30 rounds to protect yourself. buy a shotgun. buy a shotgun. >> biden also said he learned gun safety from his father who was a hunter. this morning we have a new map of the happiest and unhappiest states in america. the researchers studied 10 million twitter messages counting happy and sad words. they added themmal up and made this map. happy stat states are red, sad states are blue. hawaii is the happiest followed by maine, nevada utah and vermont. louisiana is the saddest state followed by mississippi, maryland delaware, and georgia. it looked like new york was in blue. there were nasty comments by a celebrated english author.

going to look at with my flashlight to. >> to look for signs of melanoma she's using a first of its kind device called melafind. doctors try to catch melanoma early when it's most curable. >> that's when we want to catch it and that's the hardest for us to catch. >> up to now doctors relied on biopsies to check suspicious moles a process that can be traumatic. >> lots of people don't want the scar. some people don't heal well. >> it's mitt as light that penetrates beneath the surface of the skin and the device takes digital pictures that are sent to a computer and analyzed. it calculated the score and shows whether biopsyies should be scored. >> how accurate is the device? >> in the clinical trials it was 98.3% negative and that does beat our naked eye.

>> victoria had one mole that was concern bud the computer showed it was low risk. >> you might have biopsied otherwise. >> she'll neated to have the mole examined in six months but for now she's happy with her clean bill of health. >> it's one less stressor to worry about. >> i have never once in my life been checked. i'm curious who should be checked and how often and should i wait to see something? >> no. don't wait to see something. one of the most important things to know is melanoma and skin cancer can strike people of all races and ages. in fact, you know the musician bob marley died at a young age. we all need to get checked every year. >> every year. >> of any age. go in to your dermatologist. get a full skin check, whether or not they use this device.

tend to value the connections they have with their friends and the world. i think facebook and the world around you and republicans tend to place more value on the social connections they have. so republicans have this connection for the -- >> how is it expressed differently in the imaging of the brain? >> what we did is focus on one particular brain network that we know is involved in different racial interactions. it's really activating this network in my brain. look specifically at the network and the connectivity. >> do you think we're bon this way, the way you were raised or what you're exposed to? >> it's really a nature or nurture thing. the strength of your convictions, whether you're a republican or democrat that's driven bygenetics.

which parts identifies with that's a neuter thing. mighter like what your parents were. >> i'm skeptical of this. >> yes i understand that a lot of people can be skeptical about this. you know political neuroscience, for example, is only about ten years long. what we do as scientists is make predictions. run experiments to make sure the predictions are true and have the stats to back them up. if there's one thing you can't argue with is statistics. >> let me duo to the president and what he said about the brain. how important is that and what will we do for it and whoo might be the coppsnsequences? >> i might be a little biased. i'm so glad he came out with this kind of mission. i wark out with the victims who

have had strokes drarksic brain injury. we're learning a lotter it and how organization occurs and if we can use it to help people recover, we can use it to break up this political gritlock. >> and you say you can't argue with stay ticktisticstatistics. it can predict within 83% of the time whether you're a democrat or republican. >> i'm with charlie on that. >> i got you. that's not actually from my study, but if you look at people's parents, you can look at that with 70% certainty what that child is going to be. you can bump it to 83%. >> all right. professor. thank you for coming. >> sure. thanks for having me. >> a mystery from world war ii is discovering off the florida coast. we'll show you the fighter plane good morning. the sun is

jo in . in new jersey an assembly man named charles manor, he got himself into some facebook-related trouble. this is a lit of facebook pages he's liked since the beginning of the year. paint ball authority, big booty freak. and when he was asked about this he said i doubt very strongly i did something like that which is politician code for i absolutely did that thing you mentioned and he quickly unliked the pages on his facebook but he said he had to ask his daughter for help. hey, honey, could you help daddy unlike the big booty's freak page? i don't know how to do it. >> oak. home okay . okay. home prices are up. the numbers for january out this morning and rebecca jarvis joins

us with a look. this is good news. >> we do see good news. what we learned in december is there's new homes being built across this country at the fast pace since june of 2008. the pace slowed down a little bit in the movement of january. the reason we really care about this number it's the most important thing when it comes to housing. how many new homes are being built because usually builders don't go out and build a new home unless they're confident they can sell it. that's good news for home values and construction jobs which have been under deep pressure over the course of the great recession. rew e do see home prices rising forecloses falling. you buy a house and start putting things in that house. it helps people. >> there's confidence and demand

and contractors are builds thing. how about the availability of money for people to get a mortgage? >> that's still a big part of it because people have to have really strong credit scores in order to get the baste rates on mortgages and we do see them climbing a little bit, but when you look at it it's about location, location, location. when you look at a map of the country right now, you can see home prices are dramatically up in certain states like phoenix and arizona where as in new york prices are down 1.2%. whether you're a buyer or a sell never this market, pay attention to that location. it's not even just the city level or state level, you have to go very local. you have to figure out what's happening in your neighborhood. >> and what do you need to do to make sure you get a good deal? >> charlie pointed out the idea of access to money. you need to have a good credit score right now. you also need to think about that price. 30% below the peak price.

that's a good teal on a home value. also you have to think about staying there. we learned this in the great recession and the housing crisis. people who are planning on flipping homes are the ones who got burned. those buying for the long term the value eventually in most cases is going up but you have to plan on staying there at least five years. >> and the budget fight going on in washington do you think that's going to affect it? >> he thinkings it will. they offer foreclosure counseling and vouchers. in particular if it's going to impact the housing market it will impact the lesser housing math because unfortunately these are programs that really help individuals. >> thank yu. good to see you. a surprise discovery off the coast of florida dating back to more than 50 years to the ward war 2 airii era.

chip reid goes underwater. >> reporter: people people board add mini submarine about the size of a compact car. after a safety check, the company that owns the subs initiated our descent. it held like a slow agendale ride on an elevator. in less than ten minutes we were on the ocean floor. then with guidance from a vessel on the surface -- we followed the sloping floor downward until suddenly -- there it was. half buried in the sand. >> we're now on the bottom of the atlantic 240 feet down off the coast of miami and that ice a anyway navy f 6 f hellcat that

was lost between 1943 and 1972 when 79 planes disappeared in this area. the trick now is to figure out which one this was. he discovered it purely by chance while inspecting artificial reefs for miami-dade county. at first he thought it was a shipwreck but then it showed the unmistakable shape of an aircraft. she took extensive notes and dozens of photo graphs. >> there are a lot that break up. this is intact so this is great. >> it rules the skies of pacific, destroying more than 5,200 japanese aircraft.

for man 1,200 very produced but few are left. >> we have two goals when we're looking at things. one is to try to identify and tell the model ace part and try to find the individual aircraft's number. we also want to assess its condition. >> reporter: 79 hell cats were lost off the florida coast. if brown determines this one went down with the pilot onboard they'll attempt to deliver it up and deliver the remains to the family. it could be months before we have answer. this mini sub captain says nothing beats the underwater thrill of stumbling on something different. >> it's really quite a shock. you never know exactly what you're going to find. >> reporter: rush who had originally wanted to explore space as an as trow naught says

he now believes there are even more mysteries under the sea. for "cbs this morning" aboard the am tip tees off the florida coast. >> watching that i have two things. you take a story we might not have seen. but the other is how fascinateling the oklahoma cities are and the more we do of this kind of explanation including our fascination with world war ii i think of the scientists who go there fooking for one thing and come up with something else. that is amazing. that's a story you'll only see on "cbs this morning." i like that too. when we come back it was one of the most famous commercials ahead on "cbs this morning." we'll be right back. when they came up with this product, they were thinking about my family. this is our perdue perfect portions
